At this moment, Claire's parents also moved closer, about to kneel in front of Shirley.Shirley's face subtly changed, she shifted back a few steps, her expression slightly darkening.What did this mean?Forcing her to bully an innocent woman collectively?Keith wore a mischievous smile and whispered in Shirley's ear, "Honey, you ask me, and I'll help you."Shirley glared at Keith angrily!Bastard!He dared to threaten her!Tina crossed her arms, indifferent, and began tapping away on her phone replying to messages from Stanford.The boss was really annoying!Even though she was back in City T, he still messaged her daily to keep up with the situation.If it wasn't for his instructions to Keith, Shirley wouldn't have been in this passive situation.If he wasn't her boss, she would seek revenge for Shirley!Oh... it seemed like she couldn't beat him?Shirley cleared her throat lightly and said to Mr. Moore, "Dad, I'm not in a position to intervene in this matter, am I? My last name is
Shirley was a bit speechless.The fact that Claire's family showed no signs of anger despite what happened was beyond her comprehension!What kind of values do they hold?After Tina finished playing with her phone, she casually remarked, "Devin drives a BMW Z4, so it seems like he's not exactly poor."At that moment, Shirley finally caught on.Turns out, Claire wasn't such a good person either!Upon careful consideration, it made sense after all!The Moore family, although a well-known local name, wasn't exactly at the top of the economic ladder around here.Claire's family was just a distant branch of the Moore family, so their financial situation was even worse. So a family like that, raising a daughter like Claire who was so ignorant, it wasn't really surprising at all.Shirley recalled the first time she met Claire, who used some provocative words to keep her away from the Moore family. From that moment on, Claire showed her petty side, especially after Shirley accepted the Moore
Because Keith took a stab for Shirley, she didn't resist at all and let Keith step into her room.Shirley immediately held Keith down, reaching out to examine the bandage on Keith's arm to see if it had shifted.Seeing Shirley being so careful, Keith's eyes grew even gentler.Keith's arm was strong and muscular. He was the type who looked slim in clothes but had muscles when undressed.Now shirtless, revealing his sturdy arm with a bandage, he exuded an unparalleled domineering aura and extreme beauty."Don't be so silly in the future," Shirley couldn't help but mutter, "Look at you, injured. How are you going to work for the next few days?"Keith sighed intentionally and said, "Oh, you remind me. My arm is injured, it's even inconvenient to eat."Shirley's face changed slightly, and Keith quickly added, "But, it's worth it to save you!"Shirley lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling lightly, unable to hide her guilt.Once Keith saw his goal accomplished, he smiled slightly, reachi
Keith officially announced the Moore family members as his parents-in-law, causing a stir in City F and even throughout the entire Y State.Strangely, Keith's grandma, Old Mrs. Nelson, in distant City T remained silent on the matter, never expressing her support or opposition.Old Mrs. Nelson's attitude left everyone below guessing and speculating.However, it couldn't be denied that the status of the Moore family had indeed received a hidden boost.Even though the Moore family was not one to seek prestige through connections, whenever the Moore family was mentioned outside, in addition to the respect previously held for scholars, there was now an added layer of fear.After spending two days and nights with Shirley, Keith reappeared at the company when his wound had healed.Lillian had already been sent directly to City A by Keith citing a need to report back to headquarters.There was sure to be someone there to receive her.The departure of Lillian had immediately freshened the air
Shirley said, "Hey, I heard Stanford is coming too? When did he get here?"Tina's smile suddenly froze, and she said, "Can you not mention him? Tonight, I plan to scope out some cute guys at the bonfire party and maybe bring one home! If he shows up, my plans are ruined!"Shirley glanced past Tina and saw someone looking furious. Unable to hold back, she said, "Do you really hate your boss that much?""Tch, no way! That guy can't find a girlfriend himself, so he's always meddling in my love life! I'm twenty-five already, I don't wanna end up an old maid! Hey, Shirley, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you rolling them or something?" Tina asked as Shirley kept giving her signals.Before Shirley could respond, a familiar voice came from behind them, "Oh really? Sounds like I've been too lenient with you."Tina's body froze suddenly!How can it be?!How is it possible?Why is the boss here?Isn't he supposed to arrive tomorrow?Oh, no! My plan to flirt with handsome guys is ruined!Shirle
The villagers gathered around the bonfire in groups, flipping the sizzling whole lamb on the grill and sprinkling it with cumin and spices non-stop. After a good roast over the open flame, the entire square was practically enveloped in the aroma of barbecue.Tina couldn't stand the gloomy expression on her boss anymore, so she ran over to squeeze in beside Shirley.With a mournful face, Tina said, "It's over, my plan to snag hot guys tonight is ruined."Shirley chuckled lightly.This Stanford guy dislikes her, but seems that he cares much about Tina...Interesting! After Tina dashed away, Stanford looked around and, not seeing Lillian, immediately called her over with a phone call.How could we have such an occasion without Lillian?She needs to be around Keith more often!How can they build a relationship if they're not together often?Shirley never expected Lillian to show up.When she saw Lillian's tearful eyes, she instinctively glanced at Keith.Keith shook his head, saying noth
Keith never expected that when he got on the RV, instead of the wine Stanford prepared for him, he was faced with Lillian's open arms.At that moment, he felt a bit disappointed in Stanford.Lillian stepped forward, hugging Keith, rubbing her cheek against his chest.She could hear Keith's heartbeat, but the anticipated rapid heartbeat didn't happen.How was it possible?She was standing naked in front of him, how could he resist?Shirley was pregnant now and couldn't make love with him, wasn't he uncomfortable?She had already taken the initiative to this extent, wasn't that enough?Lillian then tiptoed, trying to kiss Keith first.Her carefully made-up face was radiant, lips slightly parted seductively."Keith, tonight I am yours. No matter how you treat me, I will be without complaints!" As Lillian got closer, her lips inches away from Keith's tightly pressed ones.There was a determined look in Lillian's eyes.As long as she had sex with Keith, Shirley would become insignificant!
Tonight's bonfire party was a mix of joy and tears.But of course, Shirley belonged to the joyous category. Throughout the party, she was the happiest one playing.The villagers had such an intense liking for Shirley that it made everyone else envious.After changing clothes and trying to join the villagers, Lillian, seeing how popular Shirley was, felt intensely jealous.She just couldn't understand why Shirley was so well-liked in this Village?Wasn't she pregnant now?Her figure was starting to show signs of pregnancy, and she couldn't overly enhance her appearance.Why was such a woman still so popular?Lillian always had a certain pride in her own beauty.Don't men like delicate, teary-eyed girls?Keith used to love her a lot, but now why...How could Lillian have known that the former carefree Keith, with a harmonious family, had naturally become a bit jaded, and growing up alongside her from childhood, that's why he loved a woman like her? Putting aside her six years of absenc
